Damn those brabus cars are sick.. especially the CLS rocket..

ohh and did you sit in the zonda?

No, no sit in the Zonda. In fact I never saw anyone sitting in the cars. I spend a lot of time to check out the Zonda cars. The car is created with love, thats obvious.

You can see Mr Brabus himself in one of the pics, sitting down in a chair.
BTW did you notice the colour for your seats? What about yellow leather in a Brabus?

Great thread JM, and good for you that you like the Zonda

How many days were you at the show? and was Horacio Pagani himself there more than one day?

And the S is truly the ultimate Autobahn car. On the way home from Austria one in black drove by us at about 230-240km/h, so beautiful

. Saw 7 new S-classes on that trip

I`ve read a lot of articles and reviews on the interior quality of the new S-Class from journalists and customers alike and this is the first time I`ve herd complaints about the quality and "plastic" feel. The journalists and customers
are saying the interior is top notch in quality, fit and finnish.

The matallic switchgear in the W221 S-Class is not plastic, it`s aluminum.
On top of that the interior in the S65 AMG is covered in Nappa leather.

I`ll admit black is not the most flattering color for this interior.
I`v said this before. MB needs to present more colors for the AMG models
at these shows.

Take note: the Audi A8 has more plastic pieces in the interior than the W221 S, I`ve seen it in real life.

S8 simply was outstanding in this segment.
